Slipknot Announces Three-Day Knotfest US 2014

Get heavy in San Bernardino October 24-26

Heavy music fans will be pleased to know that legendary festival Knotfest will be returning to Southern California this fall! The three-day metal and heavy music festival will be held October 24th through 26th at San Manuel Amphitheater & Campgrounds in San Bernardino, CA. This particular iteration is notable because it’s the first time Knotfest will be held in the same location for multiple days.

Knotfest US 2014 is powered by Rockstar Energy Drink and will feature a Slipknot-curated lineup of over 60 bands, including Slipknot (duh), Danzig, Five Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, Anthrax, Killswitch Engage, Tech N9ne, Of Mice & Men, Black Label Society, Testament, Hatebreed, Atreyu, In This Moment, Carcass, and more. Aside from all the heaviest of heavy music, the event will also feature over 20 festival attractions, including a Slipknot Museum (curated by the band), carnival rides, a zip line across the festival grounds, drum circles, pillars of fire, freaks, fire-breathers, stilt-walkers, and so much more.

Saturday and Sunday will be closed out by unique Slipknot sets on the Main Stage featuring brand new music and an entirely new stage set and experience. Fans that purchase VIP or Camping Packages will also be treated to a Friday night VIP Pre-Party Bash, special performances by Suicide Silence, The Black Dahlia Murder, Butcher Babies, and more, and other activities. All ticket purchasers will receive a digital copy of Slipknot’s forthcoming album on its release date, so they won’t need to wait until October to start prepping for Knotfest.

Knotfest tickets are on sale now with limited quantities of Early Bird Discounted 2-day and 1-day festival tickets and Camping Packages available while supplies last. VIP packages go on sale Wednesday, July 9th, at 10:00 PST. Hotel packages and travel packages will be available soon.
